ロッケンハウスの天然記念物・トップ20

The small sacred monument we encounter on the Geschriebenstein, in the form of a summit cross, is—besides the view it offers—perhaps also the perfect place for a brief moment of reflection. A few years ago, Christiane Völkel commented on the wonderfully fitting sentence by the Italian poet Francesco Petrarch (who lived in the 14th century), "Everywhere one has heaven above oneself," as follows: "What is the use of prayer? This question moves me (...) I have found for myself the answer and the certainty that when I pray I am with the Lord, or rather, that when I pray he is often noticeably closer to me than usual. Thus, I retain the possibility of pouring out my heart to him (...) This intimacy with him makes me believe in him."

A very pleasant and interesting place in the middle of the forest. Tables and benches invite you to linger. A visit is highly recommended.

Highest point in Burgenland

Easy to see on the uphill path.

It is one of the best-known tourist attractions of the Kőszeg Mountains. National Blue Tour Sealing Site, and it's also spectacular. Of course, there is also a saying associated with it. You can read about them on the local bulletin board. Around Forrás there is a picnic area with a rain shelter. And a few steps away, we can find traces of history - a few decades ago - with an abandoned border guard base. All this a few steps from the Austrian border. It can be reached on perfect quality asphalt roads and forest roads, it is only 2.4 km away from the "documented" parking lot.

New summit cross in "Burgenland style" on the Geschriebenstein.

I didn't think that it would be so steeply uphill at the end. It's a great way to rediscover the area you thought you knew well.

This is where the Head Trail begins.
